Corp000085 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 RIP... His brother was quoted as saying he was "stable" like 2 or 3 hours ago. I guess things happen fast when you have a massive stroke. I lost an aunt to one. It's tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Death by brain trauma runs in my family... I could not live like Dick Clark does after a stroke.. I would be unable to cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blogic2 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I went to school with his niece. That is a great family. Please pray for their peace and comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 RIP, Lee Roy, you were a great player and from what I'm reading elsewhere, a great human being as well. Â A bit disgusting that ESPN doesn't even really seem to be noting this prominently at all on it's NFL page, but then again, I guess Lee Roy should have known better than to not play in New York, Boston, Chicago or LA. Â I can still remember Lee Roy and his brother playing--man, am I old.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I can still remember Lee Roy and his brother playing--man, am I old.... Â Frank Sinatra, George Burns, Jimmy Stewart, James Cagney, Sammy Davis Jr., Lucille Ball, and on and on... good people die, and then you wonder what happened to the world. Â 56 is just way too young to me... it makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 a dominant player ala Reggie White and LT....didn't get the publicity though  I think he got more, along with his 2 brothers, when they were at Oklahoma.....He played on some pretty bad teams in Tampa.
